Does catalysm align to shadow belt? If not which element belt does it align to? Thanks.

Shadow + Aqua

So friend of mine's been having a problem where every time she teleported, she'd d/c at the gate crystal. Using Windower of course. Have tried to remove plugins like SC but still same problem. Anyone else ever have this issue before?

WotG is required because Abyssea uses Grauberg/Vunkerl etc. And maws.

This can make sense, but it doesn't. CoP isn't required and you go to Misareaux, Attowha, Uleguerand. You see the Maws without the expansions anyway. I'm sure there's some reason it's required, but I can't think of why. Zilart is required for Hall of the Gods CS's, but I can't think of anything for WotG. Maybe an animation or something.

Disconnect or crash?

If you have a gear swap that fires as you are zoning (precast fast cast gear, aftercast idle set), you will crash. I don't have the problem so much when I am WHM, but I do as RDM due to the amount of fast cast available. I've actually had to disable gear swaps on teleports/warp/retrace because of this.

Occasionally if I zone while 2boxing, both clients will hang until I kill one of them. The other will load normally once the other client is killed.

I have not experienced any thing other than that regarding disconnects and zoning. Is it all teleports or a specific one?

[urat]

I know if I try to use chocobo jig, which gear swaps, as I zone; it disconnects me as well.

So BG wiki says "Each merit upgrade to the Subtle Blow trait is a 5% increase" That can't be right can it?

/shrug Everybody still had PD on and AF raped the remaining DDs that were on it when it AF'd so I don't know what happened. The whole transition into the last form was very sloppy on our part though so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

If you used PD too early or with less than 900 MP you can get killed by AF x9, near the end of it's duration PD is more -60%~ DT than -96%.

Best strategy for farming Alex? Which zone can produce higher quantities of Alex?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Probably doing SSR on BST. Have your friends DC at the entrance so you can enter solo, call out your pet (no need to use Yuly unless you want 35s) and three NMs, then boss. You should be able to do that solo, but it may take some Rewards and a few pets. You might want to use Yuly on the boss, although I've never gotten a Linen Pouch even with TH3+whatever.

Each upgrade is a 1% increase.

Can slot NMs drop pouches too?

Bhaflau or SSR, walked out with 180 alexandrite doing F2 + LBC in Bhaflau but that requires NM to pop. SSR will always net at least 3 pouches doing HB/GG3/Turtle

Think I'm 3/8 on larger pouch doing salvage this last week.

Plucking wings: WHM DD (MNK WAR NIN avail) ok? Have only ever done splitting heirs.

[dasva]

Just 1 DD? Might be tough the mobs do do a bit of dmg and 1 sleepga won't probably last unless the DD zergs good. Nin could probably get by between shadows and evasion if you stunned most the higher tier gas

Best way to raise fame in abyssea-kon?

Best way to raise fame in abyssea-kon?

NM photo plate quest > martello upgrade and photos.

Can either pop fana/kite and take of something like turul, or just pop and sleep a T1 VNM.

1/Day, but the others are fairly expensive.

Plucking wings: WHM DD (MNK WAR NIN avail) ok? Have only ever done splitting heirs.

Should be fine if your WHM subs BLM for sleepga and stunning its 2hr AMs. Or having the DD be BLU would be more ideal.

Lowman? Just brew it in the appropriate leg-mode after you proc blue, will save you a hell of a head-ache.
